Happy New Year!

Here's to a blight-free 2009 with more sunshine than ever before! With the economic crisis being as awful as it is - I think we deserve more sun this year.

I will be taking more boxes up the lotty this evening to be used as raised beds. It is absolutely deathly cold out there at the moment so trips to the lotty are restricted to 30 min MAX! After that my hands go numb. :(

I tried to rinse out a slug trap in the water trough but the ice in them was over 2 inches thick on Saturday! Apparently Roath Lake has frozen over as well!

The 3 Allotmenteers!

We are 3 allotment gardeners from Yorkshire (Dave), Ireland (Karl) & Cheshire (Nicole) on a Welsh plot (Cardiff). The allotment started as a plot in Pontcanna where Dave and Karl began vegetable gardening. The plot was eventually moved to Roath and whilst Dave moved to Bristol, I came to the scene at the beginning of 2006 to dig the daunting looking plot with Karl. Dave came back in 2007 and all 3 of us now tend to the land.This is our blog since 2006.
